I have noticed we dont have a thread regarding the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup and thought we should change that!

This is going to be the 18. basketball world cup with 32 participants. It is going to take place in China from 31/8/2019 till 15/9/2019 and we will have a total of 96 matches to enjoy.

Personally I cant wait for it to start. Firstly because I have high hopes in my country Greece this time (yeah, Giannis along with his two brothers will start)! Secondly because I love basketball in general and this time many nations seem to take part with many of their NBA star players. Last but not least: There will be some great opportunities bettingwise!

GROUP A

Cote d'Ivoire
Poland
Venezuela
China

GROUP B
Russia
Argentina
Korea
Nigeria

GROUP C
Spain
Iran
Puerto Rico
Tunisia

GROUP D
Angola
Philippines
Italy
Serbia

GROUP E
Turkey
Czech Republic
USA
Japan

GROUP F
Greece
New Zealand
Brazil
Montenegro

GROUP G
Dominican Republic
France
Germany
Jordan

GROUP H
Canada
Senegal
Lithuania
Australia

Even though I think Greece shall play a good role this time, I dont think they will win the trophy... Do you believe anyone could upset the USA this time?
